4 Reasons Switzerland Is a Topnotch Travel Destination

Switzerland may be a small country, but it’s definitely big in beauty and adventure. The country is a popular tourist destination, all thanks to its breathtaking landscapes and a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re planning to relax and unwind in the next holiday, consider exploring Switzerland. Check out the following reasons why Switzerland is a topnotch travel destination and why you must see it for yourself.

1. It is home to the Swiss Alps

Who wouldn’t want a selfie with the majestic Swiss Alps? These beautiful snow-capped mountains lure in local and foreign tourists all year round. Its most iconic mountain, the Matterhorn, is hailed the world’s most photographed mountain.

Many people go on  Switzerland hiking tours  to witness the postcard-perfect beauty of the Alps. Whether you’re a climber, a hiker, or simply someone who likes to post travel pictures on Instagram, there are plenty of reasons to love the Swiss landscapes.

2. It is rich in culture

Switzerland is divided into three regions, based on the adjacent nations Germany, France, and Italy. The German region is found at the central and eastern sides of the country. The French region is at the western part, while the Italian region is in the south.

Just imagine the interesting mix of cultures from those three bordering nations. In addition, the country has been home to refugees from all over the world for many years.

The city of Geneva, for instance, is home to an incredible mix of 190 different nationalities. There are plenty of cultural events to take part, as well.

3. It has an excellent transport system

Switzerland offers a great public transportation system. The Swiss Railway System lets everyone enjoy a fast and efficient way to explore the country.

It’s most popular trains — Bernina Express, the Gotthard Express, and the Glacier Express — are included in Alpenwild’s rail tour that showcases the beauty of the scenic Alps. What’s more, you can explore the entire nation with just one ticket that works for all kinds of transportation.

Also, the country is in the heart of Europe. This means you have quick access to the neighboring nations in Europe’s central and southern regions.

4. It has breathtaking attractions

Other than the popular snowy mountains, the country is also famous for many wonderful natural and human-made attractions. Castles, for instance, are the perfect spot for history and architecture geeks.

They are well preserved and sit beautifully against fantastic natural backdrops. Just a tip: the Chillon Castle is one thing you must not miss when you visit the French region.

There are also a number of waterfalls for sightseers. You can visit the Rhine Falls, which is known as Europe’s largest plain waterfall. The Staubbach Falls is another favorite among travelers. Its water turns into an ethereal mist as it falls during summer.

If you think the falls aren’t enough, the Swiss lakes are worth visiting too. You have Lake Geneva, the largest lake in the country. This clean, crescent-shaped lake is a favorite holiday destination. There are plenty of outdoor activities in the area. Lake Geneva is only one of the prettiest lakes in the country.

These are only some of the best reasons Switzerland is part of every traveler’s bucket list . Explore this beautiful nation to see for yourself. Plan your trip ahead to get the best travel experience.

My Switzerland Dream Vacation

• Post by: Ayan Banerjee
• Mar 03, 2020

Pages from my Diary 📔 - Raw version of my journey through Switzerland

In the swiss mountains for 8 days.

“The clear blue sky reflected on the turquoise water eloquently while the ship criss-crossed the lake and we just sat there on the deck, awestruck, listening to our favourite songs with the breeze on our face”

🚩 : A place, eg a town, a mountain or a lake 📍 : A site, monument or an activity 💬 : A brief on what the place is, or famous for

Day 1 - Tirano, Chur, Lucerne

All aboard the bernina express … .

Sitting in our home in India, planning whether or not to take the direct train to Zurich from Venice seemed to be a very challenging decision to make. On one hand was a direct, no-hassle train to Switzerland. On the other was a tricky route to the same destination which involved careful planning and strict time adherence. The trickier route seemed to be through the 🚩 Bernina Pass which involved taking the only train from Venice to Tirano (exactly on time) , then change to 📍 Bernina Express (only train, exactly on time) which goes to Chur. From Chur its another train ride to Zurich, and then from Zurich to Lucerne. Our entire day was to be spent travelling in trains. After having done some research about 🚩 Bernina 💬 A famous panoramic route running past mountains, lakes and glaciers and is a true landmark which has UNESCO World Heritage status , the choice seemed obvious. We quickly reserved 2 seats in the Bernina Express, the red train with huge panoramic glass windows. Note that due to the Eurail pass, the entire journey was free (otherwise CHF 63 /person), but reservation was mandatory (CHF 14 /person).

The little red train did not disappoint. Let’s see the ingredients: 4 hrs of travel through 196 bridges, 55 tunnels and across the Bernina Pass at 2,253 meters above sea. All the while sitting comfortably in Swiss class seats with humongous windows and a food tray housing a large pizza and a bottle of fine Italian wine. This was one of those times where it felt too good to be true, except that it was.

On reaching Lucerne, we saw the old world charm coupled with the buzz of a big city. Just outside the bahnhof (train station), an arch above our heads greeted us with ‘Welcome to Lucerne’. Our faces lit up with a smile. We were in the heart of Switzerland. Our stay was to be a unique experience: A Capsule Hotel designed as a space station. Having heard about this Japanese concept, we wanted to stay there and experience it first hand. It did not disappoint us!

Later that day, we strolled around the city and walked about. 📍 The Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) 💬 is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge. We took a brief look around and decided to head back and relax in our hotel as we had been travelling all day. The next day was our first day on a Swiss mountain and we had to wake up early.

Day 2 - Lucerne, Titlis

Let’s see the snow-covered mountains from up close .

We woke up to a sunny day and according to plans, decided to head to 🚩 Mount Titlis 💬 famous for the world's first 360-degree revolving cable car in 🚩 Engelberg after checking their live webcam feed. The mountain looked ever so beautiful and inviting. It would be our first Swiss mountain trip. With boundless excitement, we got on a train from Interlaken to Engelberg. Upon reaching, at first glimpse, we saw the beauty of a Swiss village with the green grass around, snowy peaks and rushing streams of water. After a short walk from the station, we reached the Titlis Cable Car entrance, where we bought the tickets and headed up. It was a 4 seater cable car. The Swiss really know how to make any trip safe and comfortable. Below us, the sound of cows grazing in the pastures with their cow-bell ringing bought a familiar memory (DDLJ anyone?). The cable car was a fantastic experience in itself which doubled up in the final leg with a 360 degree rotating panoramic cable car. Atop the mountain, the temperature was -4 degrees. Titlis also presented us with 📍 Titlis Cliff Walk , a free activity which involves walking over a suspended bridge. Due to the nature of suspension bridges, gusts of wind and people moving about would rock the bridge back and forth. This was exciting. After having done the cliff walk, we decided to go play in the snow and snap some pictures while at it. The top is a very safe place and we saw kids enjoying the snow generator which throws snow around making it feel like snowfall, albeit in heavy chunks. After enjoying the snow-covered mountaintop, we decided to head back. While thinking of going down, we saw something which caught our eye: 📍 Titlis Glacier Cave. We entered the cave, which is free of charge, to gaze at some really amazing ice sculptures. After a short while, we decided to return.

🚩 Trübsee was an intermediate station where we had to change the cable car while going down the mountain. Instead of hopping on the next cable car right away, we decided to explore what Trubsee had to offer. Boy, we probably have never been so glad to take an impromptu stop. You see, Trubsee is the name of the station as well as the name of an alpine lake 1,764 m above sea. The lake was a spectacle and just was one of the best parts of our Switzerland trip. Just after we got out of the station, and started walking towards the lake, someone called us and asked us if we wanted to try to jump on a huge inflatable bag. What we failed to notice was something called 📍 Trübsee Adventure . If you’ve ever dreamed of being a stuntman, then the Trübsee Adventure could make your dreams come true. It was a fun playground consisting of jumping from varying degrees of height into a huge air-bag. There was trampoline as well, which we got to know is not that easy as it looks, the first time around. Anyhow, after jumping to our heart’s content, we headed down the trail to Trubsee. The sight of an alpine lake high above in the mountains surrounded by ice caps on one end and the look of an infinity pool on the other end surely made our eyes glow with happiness. We just sat there and soaked in the view till the alarm rang for the last ride back down to Engelberg. We ran back laughing all the way and caught the last cable car on the way back. Sitting in the train, heading towards Interlaken while looking at Titlis from the window, we talked about our entire day and how awesome it turned out to be. Titlis was not just a mountain for us, not anymore.

We reached Lucerne back and had plenty of time to spare before the sun set. We had some food by 🚩 Lake Lucerne amidst huge swans and small ducks fighting for food and roaming the lake. This seemed to be the hangout place for the locals as most of them came in groups, played music and seemed to enjoy the evening. We stayed for some time before I said ‘I think The Chapel Bridge could be done one more time’, and we walked back to snap some more pictures. We went for long walks on either end of the town, talking about us and how glad we were to do this trip. Strolling about, we came across a group of school children on a guided tour, being taught the historical significance of the monuments around the general vicinity. We walked by the river Reuss till nightfall. After returning to our capsule hotel, we punched in the key while the automated doors welcomed us into our futuristic hotel. We slid into our respective capsules after talking some more about the adventures of the day. Little did we know our adventures had just begun!

Day 3 - Lucerne, Iseltwald

Bye lucerne, hello iseltwald .

Bidding bye to the Capsule Hotel, we left towards our next destination, 🚩 Iseltwald a quaint little port town by 🚩 Lake Brienz (Brienzersee) . We took the train from Lucerne to Interlaken and then a cruise ride to Isletwald: which inadvertently turned out to be the ride of our dreams. It was a perfect fairy-tale ride on a lake surrounded by mountains and dotted with ports on either side. The clear blue sky reflected on the turquoise water eloquently while the ship criss-crossed the lake and we just sat there on the deck, awestruck, listening to our favourite songs with the breeze on our face. The entire view felt like a painter had just freshly pained on his canvas. The colour of the water was the highlight of the beautiful lake. The air smelled ever so fresh, as we passed by some villages on the way. Finally our halt came and we departed the cruise into Iseltwald, a beautifully laid back place with flowers all around.

After having done so many places back to back we wanted some time to relax and this place was perfect. Sitting down beside the breathtaking lake, sipping beer and eating pizza, we had the time of our lives. We had the entire day to ourselves and explored the small town. The evening came with clouds bursting into rain, and with it brought the exploding colours. The setting sun, seemed to be the catalyst for all manifestations of incredible colour across the sky and land.

Later in the evening we sat on our balcony of the hotel and admired the beauty of Switzerland and dozed off to sleep. We had a big day tomorrow.

Day 4 - Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen

A walk to remember.

We woke up early next day and packed our bags to head out back to the town of Interlaken which literally means between lakes. It is a strategically placed town in central Switzerland which provides access to almost all places of interest and hence is a bit crowded. While planning our stay we had two options: either lodge centrally in a hotel or stay 6 bus stops away. So when we boarded the bus and got down at Unterseen, and walked a few paces in the neat road with cows grazing on open fields on either side to reach our camping site, we knew we had made the right choice. The camping site offered space for locals to bring in their caravans and park for the night while wooden igloos catered to the guest lodging. Hence, the igloo served as our home for the next two days.

It was time to head out to 🚩 Lauterbrunnen , a picturesque little village in the valley with a total of 72 waterfalls gushing down the slopes . It has a view that only few places can compete with. A quick train ride from Interlaken and we reached Lauterbrunnen in around 20 mins. After getting down from the train, the first thing we noticed was how beautiful the village was and a particularly huge waterfall draping the slopes of the valley. The tip of the waterfall was so high that it felt like the water was pouring out of the sky. The small stretch of road from the station was lined with shops and one shop selling authentic Swiss fondue caught our eyes and we decided to go for it. Fondue is a traditional Swiss dish made out of molten cheese served in a pot with a flame at the bottom to keep the cheese from solidifying. It is eaten by dipping bread in the cheese with long-stemmed forks . We ate till we were brimming with cheese. After having a hearty meal, we decided to stroll around to that huge waterfall we saw from near the station: 📍 Staubbach Falls 💬 Switzerland's highest waterfall and Europe's 9th highest: at a staggering 297 m free fall height. It took our breath away. Even with the intense water flow, most of the water turned into mist before hitting the ground. The area below it roared with the sound of falling water. We took a leisurely stroll down the road since we did not have to go to any place it particular and as soon as we left the town area, it became even more pretty. The countryside of Switzerland is something that can only be conjured up in dreams. The summer breeze, below the blue sky, with green grass around and huge white mountains far in the horizon, is the perfect honeymoon that one can ask for. We hung out on that lonely road for quite some time and decided to head back. By the time we reached the train station, the weather had turned and it started drizzling. Could this be any more romantic? I thought to myself.

After a brief train ride back to Interlaken we grabbed some beer and food from Coop (Swiss famous supermarket franchise) and returned to our place for the day. The evening air drizzled with light rain and we were smack dab in the middle of open fields with mystique mountains coming in and out of view while touching the clouds. The sweet evening had us chatting as we had light snacks on the front porch. The night came slow and we retired to our lovely wooden igloo. The chilly air at night was no match for the comfy blanket we had on us.

Day 5 - Grindelwald First

A glorious day of adventure.

The morning came with a wave of drizzle and rainy weather. The weather in Switzerland is highly unpredictable, especially atop mountains. Today was supposed to be the day of fun activities on 🚩 Grindelwald First . Grindelwald is a little mountain village (at 1,034m) at the foot of Eiger. First (2,167m) is a mountain summit that can be reached via Grindelwald.

We checked the early morning weather (through live webcam) and found that it was cloud covered. This was disheartening for us since we really longed for the activities that First promised. We decided to spend the day in our igloo and visit nearby places when the weather brightens up. Except, it didn’t. Just after noon, we decided to take the risk and go for it. It turned out the weather was in our favour. Though the cloudy overcast was pertinent, it impacted us lesser than we thought. The train ride from Interlaken to Grindelwald was a 45 min journey. After reaching Grindelwald, we could see the Eiger mountain right there. From the train station, it was a 10 min walk or a short bus ride to the First cable car base. We took a brisk walk across as we wanted to take in the feel of the town. Since we arrived a bit late and First closes around 18:00, we chose to take the tickets for the gondola up and then any 2 activities (3 activities wouldn’t be possible on time).

After reaching up to First, we saw a big line on the First Flier. So we quickly went for the 📍 First Cliff Walk . It is free to do and an amazing thrill. We walked on a suspended bridge hugging the cliff. Even though it was overcast, the view was still incredible. After snapping photos at the edge of the cliff walk, we quickly ran towards the 📍 First Flyer and waited for our turn. We got lucky as we were the last ones allowed to have the ride for the day. It started drizzling and the flyer was stopped due to precautionary measures. Flying above the ground, on top of a mountain, 7000 feet above sea level at around 80 km/h cannot be expressed in words. You feel like a bird on top of the world.

After reaching Schreckfeld, by the flyer, we headed towards our second leg of activity for the day: 📍 Mountain Cart . While the flyer made us soar like a bird, the mountain cart made us feel full of life with excitement and thrill. Running down slopes with the panorama of mountains around you at a huge height makes you forget all worries of life. The cart only has brakes and huge grippy wheels. After wearing the provided free of cost helmet, we started our downhill ride. If there ever was a time we were scared and excited with a sense of adventure, this was it. The cart gains speed due to gravity and without braking, it achieves a very high speed hurtling down past the clouds and green meadows, some with cows, and their quintessential cow-bells. We stopped somewhere in the middle to soak in the view and free our spirit. The ride ended after some nerve-wracking yet smooth curves and we looked up in amazement of what we had just done. It was a glorious day. We had made it in the nick of time for the flyer and the cart, but our luck ran out on the 3rd activity: 📍 Trottibike as it was too late and they had closed down. Nevertheless, with a happy heart, we got on the gondola from Bort to the cable car base station and stepped back out in the town of Grindelwald. We made for the train station telling each other how wonderful and beautiful life is and the experiences we were having together. Never to forget this day, we sat back on the train and headed back. Meanwhile, in Interlaken, most of the shops had closed down as it started pouring heavily. We waited to catch our bus and upon reaching our camping grounds, decided to get drenched in the beautiful Swiss rain.

Day 6 - Lake Thun (Thunersee), Spiez, Zermatt

Hello matterhorn .

We woke up late in the morning, had our breakfast and headed out to our next destination Zermatt where lies the iconic 🚩 Matterhorn 💬 Pictured as the Toblerone logo, the most iconic mountain landmark in the Alps and probably the world. After having ascended 2 mountain peaks in the past 4 days, the sight of the Matterhorn up close and personal sent a wave of happiness through our minds.

Checking out of the campsite, we took the now familiar route back to Interlaken. While heading to the train station we realized the train route runs from Interlaken OST to Zermatt via 🚩 Spiez , which also has a port on Lake Thun. Naturally, the thought of the water excited us and we made a quick decision to head to Spiez via the aqua route.

The water of Lake Thun turned out to be very different than that of our previous cruise of Lake Brienz. Instead of the familiar turquoise waters, Thunersee presented us with blue water. It was very similar to the dreamy cruise through Lake Brienz and we happily soaked in the feel of the fresh lake air once again. This time, the painter had changed his palette of colours. After a sweet journey, we reached Spiez ferry and deboarded. While exiting the ferry, we noticed a landmark location which turned out to be 📍 Schloss Spiez (Spiez Castle) which was initially built in 933, yes 933 and is a heritage site of national significance. We took a quick glimpse around the castle and decided to head to the train station, which was a bit far away, uphill. Once there, we waited for the next train to Zermatt.

After a long 2 hr journey, we finally reached the famous ski resort town of 🚩 Zermatt a car free ski village with cobbled streets, a quaint catholic church with memorial grounds and original buildings still standing. We quickly checked into our hotel which was less than 30 seconds from the station and decided to walk around the town during the evening. The main street, Bahnhofstrasse is lined with boutique shops, hotels and restaurants. We went to the far end of the town and did a short hike. The weather became chilly as it started to drizzle. We enjoyed for some time before heading back to a hot cup of coffee and a good nights sleep later.

Day 7 - Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge, Randa

Rain check on matterhorn. charles kuonen - wow .

The next morning was a particularly foggy morning with a rainy welcome. It had rained the entire night and washed our plans along with it. We were supposed to take the Gornergrat Bahn to ride up the 🚩 Gornergrat . Point to note: You cannot actually go up on the Matterhorn (via any transport). One of the ways to see the Matterhorn up close is by taking the railway up to Gornergrat (which is a rocky ridge at an elevation of 3,135m). The Gornergrat live webcam feed showed cloud formation and we could see the Matterhorn was fringed with clouds from our window. With no signs of clearing up, we decided to go to the next best thing around Zermatt: The 📍 Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge is the longest hanging bridge for pedestrian use in the world at a span of 1621 feet (0.49 km), with a width close to 2 feet (26 in), hanging 279 feet above ground at an elevation of 6824 feet (2080 m) above sea level.

The bridge (CKSB) does not lie in Zermatt, but in the next village of 🚩 Randa which is a quick 15 train mins ride from Zermatt. From the Randa train station, to reach up to the bridge, we needed to follow a hiking trail for roughly 4.5 km one way. The idea of doing a hike in Switzerland was exhilarating, so we packed our bags with light snacks, chocolates, clothes, water bottles and the usual and headed towards Randa. The trek route is clearly marked right from the exit of the station and we had no issues following our first foreign trail, except for a couple of places at the start. The trek started from the narrow streets of Randa, through traditional Swiss chalets and soon took a right turn into what looked like a field. Before we knew, we were in the woods which were still freshly dripping from the occasional light drizzles. The narrow trail started doing small turns and we continued on our hike up. Occasionally a couple or a group would pass us by, on their way down. We kept going and soon realized that this was going to take some time. Instead of hurrying up and losing all our energy, we decided to take it at a normal pace so that we could maintain our level of energy. The winding path was clearly marked with signposts and directions were easily identifiable. We met a couple from Spain, who, along with one kid and another toddler had taken up the hike. They seemed so happy to be getting along and had stopped for a breathing recovery. We chatted with them and then continued further along the route where we caught up with a couple of Asian girls who were having a jolly time and interacted with them. After two hours, with heavy legs and hungry tummies, we finally seemed to reach the flat area on top where the bridge was.

The distance to the bridge now showed 500 meters on a signpost and we got back the smile on our faces. We had finally made it. The Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge was right in front of us and it looked exactly as we had seen in pictures and imagined it. We put our back on a rock near the start of the bridge and regained our energy. The backpack opened and out came a baguette with cheese and fresh tomatoes and ham inside. We had a swift picnic with a couple of chocolate drinks.

The bridge was really long and since it was on a height, it swayed with the wind. Add to it the short width, it felt like a roller coaster bridge, if there ever was one. The bottom part of the bridge was made up of metal with checkered openings, so you could literally see what’s beneath. We felt as though we were walking on a glass bridge. The entrance to the walk is the most terrifying: the view comes across as a long slender hanging piece of metal held together by steel ropes, and the movement of it along with the wind intensifies the experience. Very few people were there and we started snapping pictures in achievement. We made our way to the centre of the bridge and enjoyed every bit of it. Finally, after some time, we crossed to the far end of the bridge. The entire walk over the bridge took 10 minutes. The other side had some carefully thought out benches placed, but we sat on rocks and just watched the bridge for some time in amazement.

The day was overcast to begin with, and now we were thinking it might start raining again and so we decided to pack up and head down. We took a different way down and it was pretty much deserted. But since it’s Switzerland, we were comfortable and felt safe to make our way down through the trail which again was marked well. We could see the train station after some time and the downhill trek was fun nonetheless. It did not rain and we saw this as an opportunity and sat amidst a huge boulder overlooking the town of Randa below and a mountain right in front of us. We discussed how life in this country would be and how we got to experience such wonderful natural beauty. We got back up, gave a high-five to each other and went back to the downhill hike. After around 2 hrs we reached back low ground and wanted to sit there for sometime as we saw a bench which was perfectly positioned for the hikers. We sat there, discussed some more about life and continued our way back to the station of Randa. When we hit the streets of the town, we were dehydrated and just then we happened to see a water fountain on a carved wooden tree trunk. We ran towards the water and I kid you not, that was the finest water we had ever sipped. The cool rush of sweet alpine water ended our trek in the perfect way.

It was 19:30 when we reached the station. Not a single soul present there. We snapped some more pictures while we waited for the next train back to Zermatt. Suddenly, out of nowhere 3 kids came running as if speaking to us. Their foreign dialect was incomprehensible to us. They didn’t have their parents around in sight and they were pretty comfortable in the station. We tried to ask them what they were asking for, but they lost interest and went away. Later we came to know they were having fun asking folks to buy them chocolate from the vending machine and since we were not making any heads of it, they went up to another person who just arrived.

Finally a red train arrived at the station. We got up on the train, and looked back once more at the passing station of Randa and how it had given us an experience of a lifetime. The Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge was not visible from there, but we knew where it was in the mountains, and in our hearts: hanging forever in our memories. That sudden feeling of attachment to something so inorganic, yet cherishable, came to both of us, as the town of Randa passed by through the window of the train.

Day 8 - Bern, Zürich, Seegraben

No time to rest, so much to see. so little time .

We woke up with a little pain in our legs, and a whole lot of enthusiasm in our hearts. It was time to say bye to Zermatt and head back towards Zurich. We had a hearty breakfast and got up on the Matterhorn-Gotthard Bahn to Visp. The route from Zermatt had a stop at Bern and we thought it would be nice to see the capital city of Switzerland. Bern had just had a race-car show the previous night and was in the process of clearing up the streets. We made a quick pit-stop at the Bear Park and saw a cute bear as well. Just near the park ran the Aare river which was famous for 2 reasons there. It provided a relief from the summer heat for travellers to dip their leg in and weirdly but frequently had floating people in the swift current. It was fun, where people would jump in the river at one place and float alongside the city of Bern on to the other side.

We had a stroll along the posh shops in 🚩 Kramgasse, the main area of the old city with a huge clock tower 📍 Zytglogge in the middle. Time was running out and we decided to head back to our next destination, before it got late. The train to Zürich arrived at the station and we boarded it. Arriving in 🚩 Zürich , the largest city in Switzerland and a global center for banking and finance , we chose to stroll around the city. Our initial idea was to try the 📍 Züri rollt , a free bicycle rental just by depositing CHF 20 , but we couldn’t find it near the 📍 Zürich Hauptbahnhof (train station) and decided to skip it. Zurich showed us how a beautiful country with mountains and lakes can also be a global economic centre as well. The old-world charm mixed with cutting edge technology along with offices of world-renowned lifestyle brands made Zurich a dreamer’s paradise. Since we had very little time on our hands, we had to make a move to our next destination 🚩 Seegräben where the trains were infrequent during the evening. We took the last train to Seegraben and checked into our hotel and jumped into the comfy beds. With our hearts content, we rested for the remaining part of the day.

Day 9 - Until next time, Suisse

Onwards austria.

14 Reasons Why Everyone Should Visit Switzerland At Least Once

Discover some of the reasons Switzerland is a place that you absolutely must visit during your lifetime. Whether it’s the spectacular mountain scenery, the heart-pumping activities or the food that will leave you wanting more, you’ve got to experience them at least once.

The world’s most photographed mountain.

Whether you are an avid climber or just someone who loves a good photo, the Matterhorn is a must for your bucket-list. Like a jagged tooth, it juts up into the sky and it’s for a good reason that it is the most photographed mountain in the world. Its lonely peak is one of the most spectacular sights in the world and shouldn’t be missed on any trip to Switzerland.

You’ll meet the world

Its unique political system.

In today’s unpredictable political climate, Switzerland is a relative sea of calm. While it’s struggling with its own isolationist factions, you can still see stable democracy in action. Political buffs and those looking to escape from the hectic world of realpolitik for a while will love a trip to Switzerland where it is surprisingly easy to disconnect.

Its climate(s)

Switzerland is blessed with many micro climates across its small area. You can spend a day ploughing through the snowy Alps and walk along palm lined avenues in Ticino or Montreux the next. Most people come for the snow and the skiing, but don’t count it out as a fine summer destination.

Ski on some of the world’s best slopes

Home to some of the best and most famous ski resorts in the world, Switzerland’s best slopes are easily accessible. While they may not be cheap, they’re a must visit for die-hard skiers, novices and day-trippers alike.

There’s so much more to do in the snow

If you want to hang up your skis for a couple of days but want more snow, there are plenty of other options to choose from. Switzerland’s many world-class ski resorts don’t just stop at the slopes and have much more on offer. You can go snow-shoe trekking, tobogganing, take a taxi-ride on a bobsleigh, or go for a good old-fashioned hike through the mountains. It’s one big snowy playground.

It’s the Roof of Europe

Switzerland boasts the most peaks over 4000m in Europe. On a clear day, the Alps offer simply breathtaking views all around you. Almost anywhere you go in Switzerland you’ll be treated to sights that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It’s a photographer’s playground and a nature lover’s paradise.

Its chocolate treats

The Swiss are known for their chocolate for a reason. Many of the world’s best brands started out in Switzerland and in almost every city and town you’ll be able to find a chocolate tasting, or indeed pop into a shop and stuff your bags for the return home.

Cheese, fondue and more cheese

Over 400 cheeses are made in Switzerland, some of them are ‘protected’ and only produced in the country. You can visit Gruyères and sample its fine cheese, or indulge in a traditional fondue while taking in the beauty of the medieval village’s sights.

To grab yourself a watch

The Swiss make brilliant watches. Sure, it can come with a pretty hefty price-tag, but if you’re in the market for a new timepiece, Switzerland is the number one place to visit. Schaffhausen, Omega, TAG Heuer and Rolex are just a few of the top brands hailing from Switzerland.

Some of Europe’s most beautiful lakes

Switzerland isn’t just all mountain tops, it’s also home to some of Europe’s largest and most beautiful lakes . From the vast expanse of Lake Geneva, to the tranquil isolation of the Seebergsee, Switzerland’s lakes offer stunning views, particularly during Summer when you can take advantage to try out sports such as water skiing, diving and rowing.

The diversity of culture

Every canton in Switzerland has different customs, traditions and even languages, resulting in a real mixed bag of events happening throughout the year. Whether it’s the Valais Witches Downhill Race, or Geneva’s l’Escalade, you’ll be treated to rich history and cultural events wherever you choose to visit.

It’s easy to travel and is well connected

Switzerland is bang in the middle of Europe. It’s easy to get around and move on to another destination; Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the tiny state of Liechenstein are all easily accessible by train. You can easily plan a trip through Switzerland on a longer tour of Southern and Central Europe.

It’s chilled

Even in the bigger cities of Zurich, Basel and Geneva, Switzerland doesn’t really get into a fast tempo and while the Swiss people may at times feel a little cold and distant, the country itself is incredibly relaxing and stress free. Outside of the cities, you can bask in some of the most pristine natural spots that Europe has to offer.

“Nine out of ten people like chocolate. The tenth is lying.” Unknown

Well, that is the topmost reason why Switzerland is my all-time favourite European destination!

The amazing natural beauty of the majestic Alps, the placid lakes, quaint villages, cosmopolitan cities and towering castles – that’s just some of what Switzerland has to offer. Add to it some shopping, wine tasting, delectable chocolates and cheeses and it gets even better. To get the true flavour of this beautiful country, here are some of the best places in Switzerland .

Geneva  is slick and cosmopolitan and maybe that’s why it is often mistaken to be the capital of Switzerland. A beautiful city in the French speaking part of Switzerland, with the amazing backdrop of the Alps, Geneva is known for many things apart from watches, chocolate, cutlery and of course, its lakeside scenery. This historical city is the site for many UN agencies. St. Pierre, a medieval cathedral dating back to the 4 th  century is the highlight of the Old Town. Lake Geneva, with the impressive 140 metre fountain Jet d’Eau, is the symbol of Geneva. Enjoy the view of the snow covered Mt. Blanc at 4,810 metres, making it the highest peak in Europe. Go for many nature walks along the lake and through the Bois-de-la-Bâtie, a 30 acre forest in the middle of the city. Visit one of the many chocolatiers in Geneva to get a fill of your sweet cravings. Geneva is also home to CERN, the largest scientific research centre in the world, where the “God Particle” was found.

Zurich  is Switzerland’s financial district and a city that has the best standard of living in the world. You could walk down the Bahnhofstrasse, which is probably one of the best shopping streets in the world. It’s also a great place to enjoy the outdoors. Take a boat cruise on either Lake Zurich or the Limmat River or just explore the city on a bike. The city has a lot to offer historically as well, with the magnificent St. Peter’s Church. With over 80 playgrounds, Zurich is a paradise for kids.

On the banks of Lake Lucerne in the German speaking part of Switzerland, Lucerne  has an old feel to it. This charming city has beautiful painted frescos on its public buildings and churches. You can get around the entire town on foot and stroll across the beautiful Chapel Bridge, which is bedecked with flowers. Legend has it that an angel showed the first settlers where to build the chapel! Enjoy the Loewendenkmal Lion Monument, a magnificent work of art and one of the most photographed monuments in the world. About 30 kilometres from Lucerne is Engelberg where at the cheese factory, you can see how delicious Swiss cheeses are made.

Interlaken and Jungfraujoch

Scenic Interlaken  near Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is the place you start your journey up to Jungfraujoch, the highest point in the Alps that is reachable by train. You will enjoy the high Alpine wonderland of ice, snow and rock, which you can admire from the viewing platforms on the Aletsch Glacier or in the Ice Palace. It is also the base for mountaineers to start their treks up many a mountain in the Jungfrau region. It’s a great place for backpackers too with many adventure activities like canoeing, paragliding, sky diving and skiing. A short distance from Interlaken is the St. Beatus Caves. These can be reached by boat or by taking a 90 minute walk on a scenic pathway.

This is the site of the world’s first revolving cable cars. Passing through three stages, the cable car connects Engelberg to the summit of Klein Titlis at a height of 3,028 metres. You can visit an illuminated glacier cave and also walk on the highest elevation suspension bridge in Europe for magnificent views of the Alps. With more than 80 kilometres of pristine ski slopes of varying inclines, it’s a great place for skiing enthusiasts in the winter. During the summer, it’s equally thrilling for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers. Undoubtedly, Mt. Titlis deservedly qualifies as one of the best places in Switzerland.

So hurry and book  an amazing Swiss holiday!

10 Photos that Make Switzerland a Dream Destination

Many Southeast Asians like me have dreamt of seeing snow capped mountains, waterfalls cascading down rugged cliffs and experiencing snow as a dream holiday. The images of Europe that we saw on TV as kids are etched into our minds forever. This paradise always seemed just beyond our reach, which is why I was overjoyed when my Schengen Visa was approved. When I had the chance to visit Switzerland and other countries in Europe in March – April 2016, I knew that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and the images that I had seen as a kid, weren’t even close to replicating the beauty of real life. It’s now been a while since I have been, so I’ve decided that I’m going to start my Switzerland post series by showing you 10 photos that make Switzerland a dream destination for every traveler.

Lucerne is one of the first cities I visited outside of Zurich, Switzerland. It has so many points of interest, literally everything a traveler could wish for; a beautiful lake, impressive panoramic views of the mountains and a medieval Chapel Bridge that forms the centrepiece of Lucerne’s townscape. It is considered to be one of the oldest, covered wooden bridges in Europe. Historic houses decorated with frescoes also line the picturesque town squares. I was satisfied just by walking around the city, it’s just one of those places where if you had lost your itinerary it wouldn’t matter at all.

 MOUNT RIGI

From Lucerne you can get to Mount Rigi via a combination of boat, cogwheel railway and a cable car ride. The journey to Mount Rigi is almost as beautiful as the destination itself! Mount Rigi offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Alps, of 13 lakes and over the entire Swiss Mittelland through to Germany and France. Being on top was very exhilarating, riding a cable car, spending the night in a log cabin and waking up with this view just made this a dream destination for me. If you have planned a long trip I would also suggest taking a trip to Mount Pilatus, as it is also a stunning place. If seeing the Alps is your dream, check out the Tour du Mont Blanc hike and start your adventure.

TOWN SQUARES 

Cobbled streets and fairytale castles, decorated fountains and frescoed houses. It’s not hard to find such delights in many Swiss towns, largely thanks to centuries of neutrality. The best place to observe this is when you go to the town square. People watching is often an underrated part of traveling, and just joining in with the local Swiss in their daily activities will make you understand how their lifestyle can be really relaxing.

TOBLERONE AND MATTERHORN 

One of my readers, Eimee said that Switzerland reminds her of Toblerone . Indeed, no matter what size, flavour, or colour Toblerone you buy; the mountain on the packaging of the popular chocolate is visible. It is said the famous Matterhorn gave Theodor Tobler the inspiration for the triangular shape of his chocolate. Whether that is true or not, it really is an amazing experience to eat toblerone whilst looking at the Matterhorn.

Speaking of chocolates…

 SWISS CHOCOLATES

Switzerland is very famous for its sweet delights. Everywhere around the country, you see different products and I have to admit, I tried to have them all. However, I’d have to go back for more! Some of the most famous Swiss chocolate brands include: Lindt, Toblerone, Frey and Milka. Please let me know your favourite chocolates in the comments below so I can have more to add to my list!

ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDINGS 

Centuries old buildings, cathedrals and universities are a tourist destination in itself. A day can be spent just walking along Zurich center and exploring the sights and sounds of the city.

TRAIN RIDES 

The most scenic train ride I’ve ever experienced was in Switzerland . Imagine going through a mountain and coming out on the other side but also getting glimpses of waterfalls and snow covered peaks. It’s one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.

WINTER SPORTS 

Winter sports are very popular in Switzerland. Snowboarding, skiing and many others are available to try for both beginners and professionals. Skiing in Switzerland may not be cheap, but packages are available and you can be sure to find charming villages and quality slopes. You can even experience snow in the summer in Mount Titlis!

GARDEN PARADISE

Switzerland isn’t just white snowcapped mountains, during spring and summer, it turns into a charming and beautiful garden paradise. The slopes are filled with green grass and the flowers bloom! Oh and yes, there are cows and sheep roaming there too!

CHALETS AND VALLEYS

Finally, one of the best things to see in the country are its charming houses and chalets. Combined with the classic Swiss scenery – high peaks, sheer valleys and cool lakes – that makes for great summer hiking and relaxation.

So here’s our 10 photos that make Switzerland a dream destination, what else do you think about when it comes to this country? Oh, and if you’re heading to Zurich, check out these cheap things to do there ! I’d have to try that, when I get to go back! Accommodation in Switzerland can be found here too.

Lesser-known secrets about everyone’s dream destination–Switzerland!

Resham Sengar , TIMESOFINDIA.COM , TRAVEL GUIDE , SWITZERLAND Updated : Apr 27, 2021, 08:19 IST

Know Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination that many people dream about visiting for its romantic scenery, delicious food, friendly people, wine and chocolates and the beautiful countryside among other things. However, it is a destination that has strange and amazing facts connected to its existence.

Switzerland has 7000 lakes

One thing is for sure–you won’t get tired of lake-hopping in Switzerland. It has about 7000 lakes and Lake Geneva is the largest of all with an area of 580 km2. However, 40.47 per cent of the lake falls within the French territory where it is called Lac Léman. Officially, Lake Neuchâtel is the largest lake within Switzerland, having an area of 218 km2.

Switzerland can explode anytime

The Swiss government is ever ready to protect itself against foreign invasion given the fact that it is surrounded by five countries (Italy, France, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein). In the event of a foreign threat, the entry points to Switzerland (like tunnels and bridges) are wired to blow up.

Europe’s Highest Railway Station and the longest staircase

The highest railway station in Europe is in Switzerland. It is located on top of the Jungfraujoch at 3454 meters. The country also has the world’s longest staircase at 1669 mt or 5476 ft. It has 11674 steps, but is open to public only once a year.

Switzerland has palm trees

Quite oddly, the landlocked country known for its awe-inspiring mountains also has palm trees. The reason is Switzerland’s diverse microclimates where tropical plants can grow. To witness the palm trees and other tropical species visit Ticino in the southern Alpine regions.

250 Words Essay on Dream Vacation

Every individual harbors a unique vision of the perfect vacation, a dream escape from the mundanity of daily life. This essay explores the concept of a dream vacation from a multi-dimensional perspective, considering various factors that contribute to its realization.

Conceptualizing the Dream Vacation

A dream vacation is not simply a destination; it’s an experience, a journey. It’s a carefully curated blend of adventure, relaxation, cultural immersion, and personal growth. It is the embodiment of one’s deepest desires and interests, a reflection of one’s spirit of exploration and curiosity.

Elements of a Dream Vacation

The first element is the destination. It could be a tranquil beach, a bustling city, a remote mountain village, or even a journey across multiple locations. The destination is often chosen based on personal preferences, interests, and a desire to explore the unknown.

The second element is the activities. They could range from adventurous pursuits like skydiving or scuba diving to more serene activities such as yoga retreats or wine tasting. The activities should resonate with one’s passions and hobbies, providing an opportunity for enrichment and enjoyment.

The third element is cultural immersion. Experiencing local traditions, cuisines, and lifestyles is an integral part of any dream vacation. It fosters a deeper understanding of the world and cultivates empathy and respect for diverse cultures.

In essence, a dream vacation is a personal masterpiece, a canvas painted with experiences, memories, and learning. It is a testament to one’s zest for life and a tribute to the beauty and diversity of our world. As such, it remains a cherished dream, an aspiration that fuels our wanderlust and keeps us yearning for the next adventure.

500 Words Essay on Dream Vacation

A dream vacation represents the epitome of personal fulfillment, a chance to escape the mundane routine of daily life and immerse oneself in an environment of leisure and exploration. It is not just about the destination, but also the journey, the experiences, and the memories created. This essay delves into the concept of a dream vacation, its significance, and the factors that contribute to its realization.

The Concept of a Dream Vacation

A dream vacation is a highly personalized concept, varying greatly from one individual to another. For some, it might be a tranquil retreat into the lap of nature, while for others, it could be an adventurous journey through exotic landscapes. It could also be a cultural exploration of historical sites or a gastronomic tour of a city famed for its culinary delights. The common thread that binds these different interpretations is the desire for a unique experience that caters to one’s interests and passions.

The Significance of a Dream Vacation

A dream vacation holds immense significance in an individual’s life. It serves as a break from the monotony of daily life, offering a chance for relaxation and rejuvenation. It is an opportunity to broaden one’s horizons, learn about different cultures, and gain a fresh perspective on life. Moreover, it provides a platform for bonding with loved ones, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Factors Contributing to a Dream Vacation

Several factors contribute to the realization of a dream vacation. Foremost is the financial aspect. Even the most meticulously planned vacation requires a certain level of financial investment. Therefore, saving and budgeting play a crucial role in turning the dream into reality.

Another key factor is time. A vacation demands a considerable chunk of time, which might not always be easy to spare, given our busy schedules and commitments. Thus, effective time management becomes essential.

Lastly, research and planning are integral to a dream vacation. This includes researching the destination, planning the itinerary, booking accommodations, and arranging transportation. The more detailed the planning, the smoother the vacation tends to be.

In conclusion, a dream vacation is a blend of personal interests, relaxation, exploration, and memorable experiences. It is a significant event that requires careful planning, budgeting, and time management. Despite the efforts it demands, the rewards it offers in terms of personal growth, learning, and cherished memories make it a worthwhile pursuit. The concept of a dream vacation serves as a reminder of the joy of exploration and the beauty of experiencing new cultures, landscapes, and cuisines. It represents the ultimate form of self-indulgence, a testament to the human desire for novelty and adventure.

My Dream Destination Essay in English

Essay On My Dream Destination, Dharamshala

My Dream Destination Essay in English Hobbies are an integral part of everyone’s life. Traveling is my passion. I love traveling. It is also a journey, where we explore a variety of cultures, traditions, and languages, but all with a practical approach. There are different dream destinations people can have when it comes to traveling. While traveling, people like to explore different cuisines, talk to the local people, and want to have some memorable moments that last for a long time.

When we come back from any destination, we have a pile of beautiful moments that we gathered during the trip. Nothing can match this feeling.

Today, I am going to talk about my dream destination, which is Dharamshala. Million people have a dream to visit Dharamshala at some point in their life. India is rich in diversity with many states, having different cultures, traditions, and heritage.

Talking about Dharamshala, it is my dream destination. I already visited this place many times, but I would definitely want to go there again.

My Favourite Dream Destination Essay

I am a nature-lover person. When it comes to planning for a trip, I always prefer a destination, which is closer to nature and Dharamshala has no exception. Dharamshala is located in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, a state in India. It is the winter capital city of Himachal Pradesh. It is just 18 kms away from Kangra, a city in Himachal Pradesh.

It has served as the place where many administrative headquarters of the Kangra District is located. Recently, the city has been chosen as one of a hundred in the country to be developed as a smart city under the flagship ‘Smart Cities Mission’ by Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. I love this place because of its scenic beauty.

What many people don’t know about Dharamshala is that there are 2 parts of the city. One part is called Lower Dharamshala, which is the commercial hub and packed with courts, markets, and the well-known Kotwali Bazaar. The second part is known as Upper Dharamshala, which is home to Mcleodganj and other structural buildings that give us an idea of its colonial past.

When we visit any part of Dharamshala, both of them have something different to offer. While visiting this destination in India, it lets travelers unwind and take in the beauty of its surroundings. I definitely want to visit this place for once more time with my family or friends.

My Dream Place to Visit Essay

Top tourist places.

My dream destination, Dharamshala, has many attractive places, where we can visit and get the best experience of life. It is an ideal dream destination for all those who want to redefine their traveling experience from valleys, hills, rivers, and forests to crazy adventure-based sports like trekking, paragliding, and rock climbing.

Different tourist attractions attract people from different parts of the world to visit this destination every year. Nature lovers and adventure seekers find this place very exciting and peaceful. Check out some sightseeing places we can visit in Dharamshala, which are mentioned below:

• Triund Hill: It is known as the crown of Dharamshala. From one side, this hill is covered by the Dhauladhar range, and from the other side, it has rolling valleys. Travelers visit it and do trekking and organize picnics with some breathtaking views.
• Dharamshala cricket stadium: It is one of the oldest places in Dharamshala. Its picturesque beauty is covered in the greenery of the Himalayan range. This stadium hosts a variety of cricket matches. It is called HPCA stadium.
• St. John Church: It is another popular sightseeing place in Dharamshala. This church is one of the oldest places and has noticeable features, which make people feel stunned. If you want to engage in a moment of rediscovery, then this church is the best place to explore.
• The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives: It is another enlightening travel place in Dharamshala. It is home to Tibetan literature. Here, we can find many salvaged manuscripts from the great exile of 1959.
• Gyuto Monastery: It is one of the ancient and well-known monasteries in the state. It is also known for tantric meditation, Buddhist philosophy, and tantric ritual arts.
• Dal Lake: It is also one of the most beautiful attractions in Dharamshala. This body of water is covered by coniferous deodar trees, which make it an ideal combination of coziness and romance. Tourists love to take photographs at this exotic place.

These are some popular places we can visit in Dharamshala. But on the other hand, there are many other famous temples, monasteries, and gardens in Dharamshala that can also give us the best traveling experience.

These are The Aromatic Tea Gardens, Namgyal Monastery, TsuglagKhang Complex, Bhagsu Falls, Bhagsunath Temple, Hanuman Ka Tibba, Kangra Fort, Indrahar Pass, etc.

I personally like Bhagsu Falls and Bhagsunath Temple. Bhagsu Falls is a waterfall in Dharamshala, which is surrounded by greenery and the best place for rock climbers and hikers. Here, there is a Bhagsunath Temple that is devoted to Lord Shiva and situated near the waterfall.

When we stand on the top of Bhagsu Falls, we get an incredible view of the entire city of Dharamshala. We can also visit local markets in Dharamshala, where we can buy some unique and artistic local items.

Local foods to enjoy

Dharamshala is known to be a spiritual and cultural abode. While the hills and magnificent spiritual centers are big attractions to beckon travelers, the food also plays a vital role in making our stay more wholesome and better.

We can take the pleasure of a variety of local foods in Dharamshala such as Tudkiya Bhat, Thukpa, Shapta, Momos, Maggi and Chai, Mittha, Dham, and many others.

Before visiting Dharamshala, I make advance bookings as it is a place where there is a huge rush every time. This is why it would be good to have advance hotel bookings. There are five-star hotels and lodges in Dharamshala, which we can choose from.

I never get bored visiting Dharamshala in my life as it is closer to me in every sense. It has given me the best memories of my life that I want to relive at some point.

• As soon as the paper is done, you receive a notification. Now, you can read its preview version carefully in your account. If you are satisfied with our professional essay writing services, you confirm the order and download the final version of the document to your computer. If, however, you consider that any alterations are needed, you can always request a free revision. All our clients can use free revisions within 14 days after delivery. Please note that the author will revise your paper for free only if the initial requirements for the paper remain unchanged. If the revision is not applicable, we will unconditionally refund your account. However, our failure is very unlikely since almost all of our orders are completed issue-free and we have 98% satisfied clients.
